What is Body Panel Replacement? When Does Your Car Need It?

"I was looking to replace the front bumper cover for my Nissan Z with a higher performance piece.

I found the one I was looking for so I needed to find a shop with the experience and expertise to not only modify the bumper cover, mounting brackets,

and other hardware as necessary in order to guarantee a perfect fit but also prime and block sand it properly so there would be an excellent surface to paint.

The final challenge would be getting the paint to match. After discussing the project with Glenn, I decided to trust the job to him.

As it turns out, it was necessary for him to modify the cover, replace various OEM brackets, and fabricate a few other pieces of hardware.

Fortunately for me, Glenn obsessed over the getting the paint color just right so that it also contained the same amount of metallic flake.

He kept me posted along the way and made sure everything was done to the highest standards. It was obvious that customer satisfaction is a top priority. Thanks to Glenn, my Z has a fantastic new look!"
